check this out. You'd think with that kind of snow, fighting would be the furthest thing from people's minds.

Read something on TGR today about a 44 year old guy beating a teenage snowboarder with his pole for knocking over his girlfriend accidentally. C R A Z Y.

Leave the road rage at home people!

Some people have really bad attitudes..but the few times somebodies crashed into me..I've been pretty freaking pissed off...Incidents should be reported to the Ski Patrollers it's their job to handle out of control skiers and riders...obey the code..

While I don't, generally, condone violence, that was a nice hit.

And they wasted a good 100 vertical feet of it!

Damn that guy took one hell of a punch and kept at it. Fighting for the pow

I can't say I've ever seen violence like that on the slopes, but most of my on-slope experience has been small hills. Then again, maybe theoretically there would be a larger chance of such happening where there is less real estate to share, eh?

In any case, scary!

Maybe I do need to re-think the whole "helmet" thing. These kids are getting tougher--not sure I could've taken that blow myself.:roll:

You kidding, I would have been down for the count!. But, I would have never gotten myself into that situation. Never take your skis off.....He'd have to catch before he could deck me!

you know, your husband conked me pretty good once at sundown with the safety bar. I think he did it on purpose too! :lol:

Nice hit? That was a freakin sucker punch.

Okay, "nice" from an aim and power perspective. Knocked both the guy's hats off.
Besides, hitting is never nice.
Unless you're into that kind of thing.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I beg to differ--no sucker punch. I've been sucker punched and that's not it. He swung first that's all. Sneaky, yes but IMO no sucker involved

Never punch in the face. Elbow and knee to the head, punch to the body.

Yup, a good solid punch to the face / head can, and most-likely, will break things in your hand and / or forearm.

Wonder what the whole story was there. Not that there's any reasonable excuse for that, but what, beyond the decline of Western Civilization would bring about an idiotic fight like that?

With all the fight digest and punching technique advice going on here... we should rename this thread to "How to beat up on snowboarders" and make it a sticky.
